Bio

Deb began supporting families as a doula in 2012 after the birth of her second child. She views birth as a social justice and human rights issue. She rocks the boat to bring attention to disparities in maternity care, especially for people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. More than that, she strives to empower birthing people by giving them the tools necessary to advocate for themselves and providing education on their various options. Deb holds dual certifications as a doula with Madriella and StillBirthday. She's attended nearly 200 births as a doula and midwifery assistant and has served families with a wide variety of birth experiences. She resides in Clarksville, TN, with her husband, Ryan, four babies (Brenna, Dominic, Marlee, and Oliver), and two dogs (Chevy and Indie). Her areas of expertise are VBACs, first-time parents, surrogacy and adoption, birth after trauma, and bereavement. She enjoys dabbling in herbal remedies, considers tacos a food group, and has a special love for wine.
